Fall Traditions by sunnygreenwood

Fall Traditions

It was a preserving day at our house today. Seven jars of Salsa are done and a batch of Relish is soaking in a brine, waiting for processing later tonight. The salsa jars look huge but they're actually only 500 ml jars (~pint). We go through a lot of salsa over the winter so I'll have to do this again in the coming weeks.

Many thanks for dropping by. I may not be able to upload for a couple of days but I'll catch up after the weekend. Hope you all have a great long weekend!
Cool picture! I love traditions

Yum looks good-did you grow the tomatoes?

@lynlong no Lyn, I wish. We don't have enough sun on our property. They're fresh and organic tho --- we have a generous neighbour who had a bumper crop this year.

Awesome photo! I love canning and have done a lot in the past. Since I had to go back to work, I do not have time anymore. Great shot and enjoy all of your hard work!

Beautiful! Now you are teasing me. Do you water bath or pressure can? I've not tried salsa but would love to.

Great angle! They look delish!

Wow: awsome job Anne, which you will be enjoying for months to come. Beautiful shot. Pictures of our everyday life events are often the best ones. Nice composition and capture.

wow! those look yummy. i'd like the recipe, too, if you don't mind. my naturopath doctor told me to have salsa instead of salad dressing to bring down my cholesterol in 10 weeks. fun wow it will be! wonderful shot, anne. it really shows how yummy the salsa is.

Yummy!

I stopped doing that some time ago . . but my daughter still carries on. Nothing like having your own "fruits of labor" in the winter months. Beautiful photo of these!!!
September 3rd, 2011  
@summerfield sure, just send me an email.
September 3rd, 2011  
Wonderful photo of a task well done.

Cool shot

Nice capture of what you have been up to in the kitchen. You have been keeping busy.

Love this, and it made my Mom so happy that you and she were doing the same thing today, and posted similar pictures! She wants your recipe too, but might be too shy to ask, so if you send it to me at lauriehiggins@comcast.net, I'll forward it. My husband wants to can some salsa too, so I will probably use it as well. Our garden is late ripening, but thankfully Irene didn't completely kill it. We planted mostly tomatoes and peppers, so I'm hoping to get enough ripe ones to start processing soon. Hope you have a lovely weekend!

Great pic Anne, love how you set it up! I would love to learn how to do this one day. Yum!!
September 3rd, 2011  
@hillcrest very easy to do Cheryl, just a bit of a chore chopping if you don't have a chopper. let me know if you would like the recipe.
September 3rd, 2011  
@lauriehiggins thanks Laurie for the kind comments and fav! Very kind! Hope your family enjoys the salsa. Have a great long weekend!
September 3rd, 2011  
yum Anne, you are so clever, this looks fabulous! I'm not much of a foodie so admire these efforts! I bet Barry admires your skill too!
September 3rd, 2011

I bet it's delicious! do you use cilantro?
September 6th, 2011  
@sitiodown yes, Tari, I prefer dried cilantro but have a hard time finding it. I ended up using some dried and some fresh for this batch.

Home made salsa is the best!
